| 摘要 |
The present invention provides methods and articles of manufacture for individually packaged water containers (120, 210, 410) that can be frozen to provide individual ice cubes. Preferred embodiments include not more than 15 ml of drinking fluid (110) pre-dispensed in a repeatedly freezable, fluidly sealed container. The drinking fluid is preferably pure or almost pure water, although a flavoring or coloring may also be added. Salinity is preferably low, less than 5%. The container can be substantially cubical, although innumerable other shapes are also contemplated, including flattened packet-type shapes, spheres, cylinders, and so forth. The container may advantageously include one or more labels (140), which may identify the contents, brand, and so forth. Advertising may appear on the container itself, or inside a lumen of the container along with the drinking fluid.
